Muahaha. My latest world domination project: play ASCII Art Doom (and Quake, and Quake2, and Frozen Bubble, etc.). My dithering algorithms are still a lot less powerful than AAlib, but at least I have colour!

Wow, one year and a half without any entry in this public place. I'm still maintaining my private diary, but since people complained I wasn't updating this one, here are some news: I now live in Paris, somewhere between Tour Eiffel and Arc de Triomphe. Cute place. Still haven't got my diploma, but everything should be finished on Tuesday. Ex-gf going out with absolute moron, which should theoretically suck generous amounts of raw eggs, but actually I don't care. Going to ride da world on a snowboard in 2 weeks. ph34r! And if everything goes well I'll start my PhD in less than two months. ph34r t00!

I closed 22 of my Debian bugs tonight. I should be happy, but since some of them were more than one year old I think I probably deserve a kick in the butt instead...

VLC 0.5.0 is out, and it's awesome. Shitloads of new codecs, DVD navigation, support for transcoding, remultiplexing, remulticasting, an UGLY METAL SKIN on OS X (because Steve said metal was good), a thread-safe Mozilla plugin, and it even works under retarded systems like BeOS, Hurd and WinCE. Cool.

LSM nightmare: I missed my train yesterday, and
there were no more non-smoking seats on the next one. The
trip was awful, hot and smoky. And of course, at my arrival
at Bordeaux
there were no more buses, so I had to take a taxi but there
were at least 50 people waiting for a taxi, so I had to walk
a bit before finding one. Then I
discovered there were no sheets on my bed. Then I discovered
there were no open restaurants in the area. Then I
discovered my bag had
experienced a shower gel incident during the trip, which
means I won't probably be able to take any photos from the
event, since my digital camera suffered a bit. And of
course, it could have got even worse on the personal side
(and it actually has). What a great day!

Debian: met a few other Debian developers at LSM.
It's always nice to associate faces with IRC nicks.
